Course content
1. Didactics of organic chemistry and biochemistry, concept of teaching for elementary school 2. Hydrocarbons, overview, hydrocarbons saturated 3. Petrol, engine feed and similar application-oriented themes 4. Oil, natural gas, coal and their processing 5. Hydrocarbons unsaturated and aromatic 6. Nomenclature of organic compounds 7. Hydrocarbon derivatives, derivatives, oxygen and nitrogen derivatives 8. Alcohols - the chemical and social significance of the problem 9. Macromolecular substances, polymerization 10. Natural substances. Carbohydrates, photosynthesis 11. Fats, waxes, soaps 12. Protein, amino acids, the basis of life 13. Other natural substances, fermentation process, pharmaceuticals, detergents ... This subject follows the courses of KPG and KPS and is also connected with the special subjects KPG Special Pedagogy for Teachers and KPS Pedagogical Psychology for Elementary Schools, whose general knowledge is applied to didactics of chemistry. In the seminar there is preparation for KCH / PP Output Practice (patterns of preparation of written preparations, outline of possible variants of output hours on given topics, training of individual phases of lesson, students' outcomes). After graduation, the analysis and reflection of the experiences of the individual students takes place.
